XBLA
This week was the release of the
Gunstringer demo, if you have a Kinect you MUST download this! It is an amazingly fun game from Twisted Pixel studios (The Maw, 'Splosion Man, Miss 'Splosion Man, Comic Jumper, Fruit Ninja Kinect) and is the first legitimate title on the Kinect for hardcore gamers. Upon playing this gem, I went to Amazon to preorder it and found that not only is it just $39.99, but it also has a token code for Fruit Ninja Kinect and two free avatar awards with the preorder! This is a heck of a game, at a heck of a deal.

Even as they build up their defenses, you're ready to roll over them in order to raze that unsightly tower. But beware! There’s a giant boulder headed your way, too.
